I use Coleman propane lanterns while camping and have used them a few times when the lights were out at home. I've had mine for at least 15 years. Very easy to use (indoors I crack a window for ventilation just in case). Propane bottles are a bit pricey but every once in a while I find them for a decent price and always keep a few around as spares.
While camping in colder weather I find they burn more fuel.
Last year I was given 2 Dietz Hurricane lanterns. Haven't used them yet. My plan for them is to use Citronella in them while summer camping to help keep the bugs away.
